The full picture
AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim plans to rest key players ahead of the Derby della Madonnina against Inter Milan on Halloween night, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. Luka Modric and Christian Pulisic will start on the bench against Bologna, while Amorim considers rotating other players. The decision is driven by the congested schedule and the need to manage player workload. Amorim is also considering giving Francesco Camarda a chance to start.
Amorim is making lineup changes for the Bologna match, with Yacine Adli Jashari starting in place of Modric and Michael Cisse replacing Pulisic. The attacking wide players will remain the same as against Udinese, with Hutchinson and Bartesaghi on the wings. Amorim is also considering changes in the defensive lineup, with Estupinan potentially returning behind Bartesaghi.
Milan owner Gerry Cardinale will be in attendance for the Bologna match and will stay in Milan for the derby against Inter. Cardinale praised Amorim's work and the team's growth after the victory against Udinese. A win against Bologna would provide additional momentum heading into the derby.

Source context
Ruben Amorim had warned in the bowels of the Bluenergy Stadium, just minutes after his Milan side’s victory over Udinese. A typical phrase for the occasion? In a week that ends with the Derby della Madonnina on Halloween night, one would think not. Although, whether he likes it or not, when making his lineup selections for the midweek match against Bologna, the Rossoneri coach himself will have to cast an eye further ahead to the city derby against Inter. So tonight at San Siro, Luka Modric and Christian Pulisic will be on the bench at kick-off, while Amorim has not rushed the recoveries of Mario Gila and Diego Moreira, who were already absent in Udine.
